Excellent video.....this kid with the glasses is amazing. Hope he ends up working under the new Ron Paul administration as Director of CIA/NSA. He could create some REAL changes, and I am sure Ron Paul would approve.
I'm actually very familiar with TCP/IP, having implemented it in 1986 and participated in a lot of standards-setting. Yes, servers perform logging but Skype, as designed, uses a server only for login authentication. Traffic goes via possible relay nodes and is encrypted end-to-end. Skype does have the drawback of being closed source so we can't really know what it does, but as designed there is no central logging of sessions. It *is* time to replace it with open-source that can be audited.
We need to get organized. Instead of lists of the bad ones, (business domestic terrorist crooks.) lets make lists of the good ones, honest, moral, and faithful to our nation. And when when find out who lied, sue'em. List them after court suit. This is the army we need to save our nation.
@ApolloWasReal the chat is logged somewhere other than the end nodes. You can test this simply by making a group chat. Have all participants go offline apart from yourself. Type some stuff into the conversation. Now you go offline. Now if the other participants go online they will still get what you typed while they were offline. Therefore the chat is logged somewhere other than the endpoints. Maybe its encrypted in such a way that only the conversation participants can read it...maybe not.
somehow the amount of views is either manipulated or the americans have no interest in whats happening in their country if it doesnt involve lady gaga.
I don't know why you guys are all discussing skype. The thing here is, they don't really have to go to microsoft and ask them for skype logs, they can go to the ISP. Even better, they already have deals with some ISPs. If they have a deal with AT&T, and they have, they can just get nearly everything from there. Unless you are using an encrypted connection of course. Still, even then it would tell them who you contact, when and from where. This is more than about which communication you use.
I think Skype text chats are logged only by the end nodes. But even this isn't safe. Log in as 'A' & have a session with 'B'. Then go to a virgin Skype computer, log in as 'A', reconnect with 'B' and B will resend your entire session. Since 'B' knows you as 'A' because your identity was authenticated by a central Skype login server, anyone who can corrupt the login server (NSA, or Skype themselves) can impersonate you to your peers and trick them into resending your entire chat sessions.
20 to 30 trillion transactions so far are being kept, which is just the amount of emails and SMS/text messages. Binney didn't go into how much data is being retained in regards to phone conversations and chat/IRC, which could equal the same amount of transactions. Everyone is being targeted, which you would know if you had watched both parts of the interview and had read the Wired article. But it is attitudes like yours that allow the surveillance state to grow.
They do not need ISPs. Their switches are already installed at converging points, sending copies of packets to echelon and utah. Its totally naiv to believe that wire-, wifi or satellite communication is by any means "private" between chatting peers. Even the cheapest network switch is able to duplicate a port. I was installing switches in 1997 that collected all communications data via syslog daemon. No problem at all.
@vasilp It does not matter if YOU see/get history or not. Every chat goes to Skype database regardless of what we see. It is simple, believe me. I made databases and web apps so I know.
I dont know how your interest or knowldge in IT and electronic communications is, but just let me tell you this: There is no server software out there, that doesn't log communication data. Logging is build-in in all IP- and TCP-related services you might think of. Skype and the like even records (they say "buffer") the video stream. Today an exabyte of datastorage costs nothing compared to the cost in the 1990s.
Please use mellow titles for your videos....because sometimes there are informative news pieces but no one wants to share them because the titles of the videos sound too punchy.... You can put all of your keywords in the keyword box and name the video like "interview with Joe Schmo"..no need for extra drama in the title.
Thank you Democracy Now.
God...this is nuts. They were COMPLETELY right!
Youre right......but the kid is bright and has guts.....our country needs that.

Scary
I am the former journalist that has been put on the human Bio-Robisation program with forced speech and my entire life has been ruined for a game .
Ever heard of gangstalking?
Blessings to you and @chrys3073
How right you are!

Holy shit, he's describing XKeyScore, a full YEAR before Snowden blew the whistle! O_O
Where is Part 1?
Smart phone apps that trawl your address book and text history? Holy shit!
I haven't tried group chat but 1 on 1 chat doesn't work that way. The message will only transmit if both users are online.

Tor Project is good :D

Doesnt work anymore.
AMERICA HAS AN NSA LISTENING STATION IN YORKSHIRE, UK, CALLED MENWITHHILL. WHY DO YOU NEED A LISTENING STATION IN THE U.K. WHEN WE ALREADY HAVE GCHQ?

There needs to be an American Spring. Who agrees?

No one can cheat now because of this camera
